Synopsis : "Human Planet" records the story of human beings in different environments such as polar regions, mountains, oceans, and jungles relying on nature and exerting their own wisdom to survive.
For example, hunters do not necessarily hunt, but "deceive" the lion's prey.
In the savannahs of southern Kenya, food scarcity has local Dorobo hunters eyeing migrating wildebeest herds.
Humans can run nowhere near as fast as wildebeest, so how do you capture them? The hunters decided to "steal" their prey from the lion's nose.
After watching the lions kill the wildebeest, the hunters approached quietly, and then waited quietly for the time to come.
At this time, in front of them, 15 lions were biting their prey with their big mouths open.
As long as the hunters act a little wrong, they may become the lion's meal.
But the Dorobo hunters would get up peacefully in a group and head straight for the lions.
Soon, the lions were frightened by this inexplicable confidence and fled in a panic.
The lions came to their senses and realized it was just a bluff, and it took about 5 minutes. The hunters took advantage of these 5 minutes of precious time, picked up a knife, cut off a wildebeest leg swiftly, and quickly turned around and walked away.
The real lion's mouth grabs food, there is no brute force, only outsmarting.
Humans not only live on the meat of animals, but also live on the convenience of plants.
For example, in Meghalaya, a state with an annual rainfall of up to 25 meters on the high mountains of 2,000 meters above sea level in northeastern India, when the rainy season arrives, floods flood and access is difficult.
In order to solve the problem of crossing the river, the local people came up with a solution: planting trees and using tree roots to build bridges .
The amount of engineering involved in building the tree bridge is enormous. Only the inheritance from generation to generation can the tree bridge continue to grow endlessly and benefit future generations.
So, in Meghalaya, there are these 500-year-old tree bridges.
How many wonderful symbiotic relationships are there between man and nature?
What to watch: " Human Planet " starts from different living environments and explores the ways of survival between humans and nature. While shocking, it also understands a truth-human survival is always subject to nature and benefits from nature.
